IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extraets From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Dally Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange county in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 Years Ago August 2, 1888 Board of Trustees met in regular session yesterday. All present. The city attorney reported that in his opinion Mr. Fossek had no cause for action against the town and the clerk was instructed to write to Mr. Fossek's lawyers to that effect. In regard to the opening of First North street the clerk was instructed to write to the petitioners to submit the deed to their property on said street for inspection. The clerk was instructed to order a carload of coal from the Black Diamond Coal company at the stated price of $9.50 per ton delivered at their track in Anaheim. A. E. White asked to be connected with the main water pipe on his property near schoolhouse. No action taken at present. Mr. Goldthwaite asked to extend the city's main 4-inch pipe from corner of Olive and Center streets to corner of Broadway and Olive in order to supply the hotel (Del Campo) with water. Hotel association offering to advance money necessary for such work. Granted. Clerk reported collection of $20 rent for the town jail for one year to June 1st. Clerk was authorized to make out bills for Theo. Belser and N. Hart for connections of the town water works made by the city. The city engineer called attention to the bad condition of bridges.

The contract for the Catholic college on Palm street was awarded on Monday to Charles Schindler, who will begin work upon the building as soon as the plans are returned from Los Angeles. The college will be a large two-story brick and will be quite an addition to the town. The Republican County Central committee was reorganized at the convention last week. E. J. Pellegrin is named to act as commiteman at Anaheim, A. McDermott at Fullerton, T. C. Hull at Westminster, R. Q. Wickham at Garden Grove and L. W. Kirby at Yorba. Rev. Mr. Irvin of the Presbyterian church, is so burning at the Landing. No services will be held in his church until the end of the month. Sunday school will be continued, however. The nomination of Sheldon Littlefield for supervisor from this district is a compliment of which we are justly proud. It was conceded by the convention that Anaheim should name the candidate for the office. If elected, Mr. Littlefield will use his influence to build a bridge across the river at Olive—a very necessary thing. There is an appropriation of $5000 25 Years Ago July 31, 1913 Property owners and business interests on Center street between Los Angeles and Lemon are serving with dissatisfaction and gradual drift of business and building operations to the eastward, and the narrowness of the streets and sidewalks in this block are now recognized as a considerable handicap to business since the throngs that congest the street of Anaheim on Saturday and Sunday night have become so great. Petitions are being circulated among owners of frontage in the block and signatures pledge themselves to the plan of widening this block, cutting down buildings to correspond with the frontage lines on East Center street have been received from every property owner on the north side with the exception of Mrs. N. Mitchell, who owns the Falkenstein corner. Mrs. Mitchell touring the east and parties charge of the petition have been able to communicate with her. The cost of this gigantic surgical operation will not be great as a casual observer would indicate, because, as from three or four modern buildings, most of the frontage occupied with obsolete wood structures, which, in accordance with the immutable laws of the law and progress, must shortly go way to buildings befitting their location and the value of the groc they occupy. The real estate owners on north side of this block and their holdings are: Mrs. N. H. Mitchell 102 feet; German American Bar 30 feet; Odd Fellows, 80; Mrs. L. Fisher, 60; F. A. Yungblul 59 feet; Strodthoff Bros., 81 for Roman Wisser, 25; Dr. T. Houck, 23; Mrs. Soboloff, 40; A. Dickel, 25; Construction Engineering Co., 27. Clerk reported collection of $20 rent for the town jail for one year to June 1st. Clerk was authorized to make out bills for Theo. Beiser and N. Hart for connections of the town water works made by the city. The city engineer called attention to the bad condition of bridges. He was requested to bring in prices for cement and asphaltum bridges at next meeting. City attorney read the law upon issuing bonds. While rowing in the bay at the Landing Sunday, Postmaster Gardiner was hailed by a gentleman on the peninsula who had alighted with his family to hunt shells and inadvertently allowed their boat to get away from them. The boat was fast going out with the tide, but the doctor after some exertion succeeded in overtaking it and returning it to its owner. The following sales were recorded on Saturday, the property lying-in Santiago canyon: M. M. Crookshank, Samuel Shewsberry, LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ENGAGE IN THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES July 22, 1938. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Notice is hereby given that fifteen days after the date posted, the undersigned proposes to sell alcoholic beverages at these premises, described as follows: Sully Cafe, 135 W. Center, Anaheim. Pursuant to such intention, the undersigned is applying to the State Board of Equalization for issuance of an alcoholic beverage license (or licenses) for these premises as follows: Transfer of On Sale Beer and Wine License. Anyone desiring to protest the issuance of such license may file a verified protest with the State Board of Equalization at Sacramento, California, stating grounds for denial as provided by law. MRS. MINNIE B. CLEMENTS. LEGAL NOTICE PROPOSED BUDGET (exclusive of bond money) For the Loata School District of Orange County, California, for the school year ending June 30, 1939. The nomination of Sheldon Littlefield for supervisor from this district is a compliment of which we are justly proud. It was conceded by the convention that Anaheim should name the candidate for the office. If elected, Mr. Littlefield will use his influence to build a bridge across the river at Olive—a very necessary thing. There is an appropriation of $5000 for one bridge across the sandwash which money stands ready to be put to use at any time. The work being delayed simply because our supervisor cannot find the meager amount of $500 necessary for right of way. N. H. Mitchell moved into Anaheim the house recently occupied by Mr. Noland at Carlton. The house is located on Olive street and will be entirely refitted. "Mitch" is contemplating the removal here of more houses from the "greatest town of the age." Our townsman, Fritz Crist, had a narrow escape on Sunday at the seaside while riding an unmanageable horse. He jumped to the ground as the horse started to run away. Thirty ships are anchored off San Pedro. They can be plainly seen on a clear day. Robert Strong, one of the Pioneers of Westminster, contemplates removing to Pasadena to reside. Peter Hansen and family, who have been summering at the Landing for some time, returned home on Sunday. As soon as Mr. Hansen's fruit crop is canned and cared for the family will return to the Landing for the season. Master Fred Hilmer left last Monday for San Francisco where he will attend Heald's Business College. A horse attached to one of Lewis' vehicles took flight at a shot fired in the shooting gallery on Tuesday evening and succeeded. The real estate owners on the north side of this block and their holdings are: Mrs. N. H. Mitchell 102 feet; German American Bar 30 feet; Odd Fellows, 80; Mrs. L. Fisher, 60; F. A. Yungblul 59 feet; Strodthoff Bros., 81 for Roman Wisser, 25; Dr. T. Houck, 23; Mrs. Soboloff, 40; A. Dickel, 25; Construction Engineering Co., 27.

The width of Center street is feet 9 inches. The sidewalks the north side is 8 feet wide on the south side 10 feet. Center is 89 feet and 6 inches wide and the sidewalk in the block between Los Angeles and Claude streets is 12 feet wide. The reference in the width of the blocks, therefore, is approximately 22 feet, 12 feet of the disparity on the north side and 10 feet on the south. The reason for discrepancy is that East Central street developed into a business center at a later date than older portion of the town at Los Angeles street. In the original plat of the city all streets were uniform in width—49½ feet. Center street block between Angeles and Lemon became heart of the town. Business began to locate there and property owners donated 9 feet on each side sidewalks. Many years later business increased and property owners on the east side of Los Angeles street dedicated a 20-foot strip each side of Center making street 89½ feet wide. Most of in breaking the carriage torque and otherwise smashing up the generally.

Wahlberg, showing the most recent orange production data from the principal citrus areas of the world. The table indicates the name of the country, total production, harvest season and major distribution or revenue of consumption. The sources of his data have been the U.S. department of agriculture bureau of statistics, and the foreign agricultural offices which he contacted on his trip through the Mediterranean countries a few years ago. The principal orange growing countries are the United States, 75,000,000 boxes all year production, eight percent export; Spain 38,000,000 bboxes, November to June. 75 percent export; Italy 12,-000,000 boxes, November to May, 40 percent export; Brazil 12,000,-000 boxes, May to December, export 40 percent; Palestine 10,000,-000 boxes, November to June, 5 percent export; South Africa 5,-000,000 boxes, June to November, export 85 percent; Japan 4,000,000 boxes, December to May, domestic; Mexico 4,000,000 boxes, October to June, 10 percent export; Australia 3,000,000, June to December, 20 percent export; Algeria 2,500,000 boxes, December to May, export 90 percent; Uruguay 3,000,-000 boxes, May to November, export 50%; and Paraguay 3,000,000 boxes, May to November, export 50 percent.

Width of Center street is 67 inches. The sidewalks on north side is 8 feet wide and the south side 10 feet. East is 89 feet and 6 inches wide. Sidewalk in the block below Los Angeles and Claudina is 12 feet wide. The distance in the width of the two streets, therefore, is approximately 12 feet of the disparity between the north side and 10 feet south. The reason for this pancy is that East Center developed into a business at a later date than the proportion of the town across Angeles street. In the origi-lat of the city all streets were in width—49½ feet. The street block between Los Angeles and Lemon became the of the town. Business began there and property own-ated 9 feet on each side for walks. Many years later busi-increased and property own-ated a 20-foot strip on side of Center making the 89½ feet wide.

Most people know that a kilowatt-hour (KWH) has something to do with their electric bill, but beyond that word is a mystery. The kilowatt-hour is used in the elec-trical industry to measure electricity just as the dairyman uses quarts to measure milk.

Kuchel Incumbent JUSTICE OF THE PEACE ANAHEIM TOWNSHIP And Be Sure of Efficiency and Fairness Primaries—Tuesday, August 30, 1938 Most people know that a kilowatt-hour (KWH) has something to do with their electric bill, but beyond that the word is a mystery. The kilowatt-hour is used in the electrical industry to measure electricity just as the dairyman uses quarts to measure milk. The diagrams on this page will help you understand just what a kilowatt-hour is and why it means to you in terms of useful service. A watt-hour is the amount of energy needed to lift a 1 lb weight 2654 feet. A watt-hour is too small unit for convenient measurement, so we use the kilowatt-hour which is 1000 watt-hours. A kilowatt-hour is equal to 1000 watts being continuously utilized for a period of 1 hour. Thus one 100-watt lamp burning for 10 hours would consume 1 kilowatt-hour. 1 kilowatt-hour is equivalent to 13 men working for one hour. The average hour consumes 50 kilowatt-hours a month—equal to 650 m³ hours of labor. If you paid this man only 25¢ an hour, would cost you $162.50. Yet the average family pays $2 or less for an equivalent service.
